>Marx was an anti-semite by today's standards.
And probably even by 19th century standards.

Last thread got completely derailed by economists infighting so I'm going to try again and please, focus on the topic of human biology, determinism, essentialism, these sorts of things

How could Marx both use Nigger as an insult, believe Jews were greedy bastards who worshipped the coin and still believe, at least in his theory, in le epic blank slate and historical materialism? Marx prided himself in being scientific but the outright denial of innate human biological differences as a phenomenon and as the most important and scientifically explainable factor in inequality between humans is so silly on its surface that I can never take Marxism seriously. Even Rousseau understood that humans are unequal in a biological sense.

I myself am very skeptical of Capitalism because of it's anti-cultural mode of being but poverty is not due to "exploitation", some people are just tragically stupid, psychically weak, disease ridden, have trauma... I could go on and on. Now you may say "we should take care of ill fortunate people." Fine & I may grant you that, but that is a SHOULD statement. It's not because of Capitalism, it's because of their own innate inferiority.

I swear whenever I read Marxist's I can't ignore the fact that they are still heavily working under the confines of a Christian worldview. You cannot be an atheist and believe that humans are all equal, get this through your heads. Nietzsche was right, Marx was wrong. Religion was created by the weak to govern the strong, not the other way around.

Even Marx got filtered, he claimed he "reversed" Hegel's dialectic, which doesn't make any fucking sense. It's inherently contradictory.
